Application filed May 4, 190']- Serial No. 371.810.

and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Im rovementsin Window- Sash; and I do here y' declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the artto whic'h it appertains to make and use thesame. v

My invention relates to an improvement in window sash and it consists inthe details of construction as will be more fully described and pointedout in the claims. In the 'accompanying'drawings', Figure 1 is a view ofa sash embodying my invention portions of the inner and outer'framesbeing roken away, ,Fi 2 shows the inner and outer frames detailed, andBi 3 is a view. insection throu hthe sash an glass.

That portion of frame I -in rear of the shoulder 2 is beveled as'shownat 4, so as to permit the'glass to be freely placedin posi tion againstthe cushion 3, and is' of a slze sufficient to receive the inner'frame5, which latter bears against the inne 'face of the glass and holds thelatter solid yagainst the cushion 3 which as'before stated, faces 'orlines shoulder 2. ,The frame 5 necessarily conforms to the shape oftheopening in the main frame and its outer edge is beveledas at 6, thebevel on the outer face of the inner frame 5-being greater or'more acutethan that on the main frame 1, so as to allow space for compressivemovement of the inner frame. .The outer edge of the perimeter of theinner frame 5 is constructed to fit or bear against the inclined seat 4of theouter frame 1, as shown in Fig. 3, thus leavisg a radu allyincreasingspace between the beveded faces of the two frames, from theinner'faces of the former inwardly to the glass, which permits former.

Again by beveling the seat for the inner frame, and also bevelingthe perimeter of the inner frame, the lass can e forced against'thecushion and eld sash will present the appearanceof a sash there solidly,thus preventing any rattling of-the glass in the sash and also forming ajoint that will efiectually resist the entrance of water as well asexclude dust and dirt;

My improvement'while primarily designed for houses, may also be used oncar windows ple', and inexpensive; the glassmay be removed and replacedfrom'the inside without removing the sash from the frame; dispensesaltogether with-the utty joint, and 1s neat in appearance and t oroughlypractical.

It 1s evidentthat changes in the construc- "tion and relativearrangement of the several parts mlght be 'made without avoiding myinvention and hence I'would have itunderstood that I do not restrictmyself to the particular construction and arrangement of parts shown anddescribed, but, 1

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters-Patent, is,

1. A window sash, comprising an outer frame having a continuous shoulderagainst which the edges of the glass rests and an inclined seat in-rearof sa1d shoulder, and an inner 'frame fitting within the outer frame andprovided with a erimeter inclined at a different angle from t m.t,of theinclined seat on the outer frame and resting on the latter, the frontedge of said inner frame/adapted to bear against the glass and hold thelatter I against the shoulder.

2. The combination with an outer frame having a continuous shoulder, anda yielding cushion covering the inner face of said shoulder, the portionof the frame from the shoulder to the inner face of the sash beinginclined outwardly, of an inner rectangular frame having a perimeterwhich is inclined at a different angle from that of said inclinedportion of the outer frame and means for securing said inner frame tothe outer frame in rear of the shoulder.-

3. The combination with an outer frame having a shoulder and an inclinedface in inclined outer face disposed at a different angle from that ofthe inclined face of the outer frame, and means for securing the innerframe to the outer frame and clamping a glass between said inner frameand the shoulder on the outer frame.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presenceof two suh- 20 Witnesses:
